[On the way back from the ten sisters, the three shadows hurriedly went to the funeral banquet, the eldest sister shouldered the heavy responsibility, and the loving mother burst into tears and broke her heart! In this era of relaxation of the three-child policy, although the subsidy is attractive, it is difficult to resist the mountains on the road to childcare. Under the heavy pressure of the economy, the enthusiasm of young people for childbirth has quietly cooled, especially the arrival of boys, which seems to have become an unattainable dream. The story of Zhao Di's family is like a mirror, reflecting the microcosm of the family under the changes of the times, with a bit of bitterness and helplessness. 】
In that land carved by the years, Zhao Di's family is an unfinished song, singing the ups and downs of life. As the third child in the family, she is not only the bond that connects the sisters, but also the witness in those difficult years. At home, except for the father and younger brother, the rest are all daughters who do not let the women have eyebrows, behind which is the father's dedication to the "continuation of incense", which also paves their unusual growth path.
The backbone of the eldest sister holds up a piece of the sky
The eldest sister, the brave man who left home to pursue her dreams at the earliest, shouldered the burden of the family with her immature shoulders. Before graduating from primary school, he resolutely stepped into the society and brought his second sister out of that poor nest. Her figure faded away in the lights of the city, but she never really left the heart of her family. In the dead of night, she would always return to the home with little food and clothing in her dreams, and see the longing eyes of her sisters, and the complaint against her father, quietly taking root in her heart.
The warmth in winter is sisters
The winter in my memory is cold and long. Carrots have become a luxury for breakfast, and cabbage hearts mixed with snow have become a regular guest at the table. Several sisters huddled together on a shabby bed, using their body heat to ward off the biting cold wind. In those days, the grandfather's scolding and the neighbor's cold eyes turned into an unyielding fire in their hearts. The eldest sister's sentence "Even if you starve to death, you won't eat grandpa's things" is not only angry, but also an adherence to dignity.
The art of survival lies in perseverance and perseverance
In order to survive, the eldest sister took Zhao Di to embark on the road to her grandmother's house, stepping on the wind and snow at every step, and carrying hope at every step. The ice skates in the snow have become their rare snacks, and the crisp sweetness is still in Zhao Di's memory. Although the help of grandma's family is only a drop in the bucket, it is enough to make them feel the warmth of family affection. A bowl of mixed noodles and salty soup, although simple, is full of the eldest sister's careful calculation of life and deep love for her sisters.
The years of part-time work create a tenacious soul
The assembly line of the garment factory has witnessed the transformation of the eldest sister from a young girl to a pillar of the family. The day-to-day work sharpened her will and made her more aware of the importance of money. When she returns home at the end of the year, she brings back not only material gains, but also expectations and commitments for her family's future. , the resentment towards his father in his heart is like ice in winter, which is difficult to dissolve.
My father has passed away, my mother is seriously ill, where is the way home?
The sudden death of his father was like a thunderbolt from the blue, which made this already stormy family even worse. Of the ten sisters, only three hurried back, and in the face of her mother's collapse and crying, the eldest sister resolutely stood up, she knew that it was time for her to carry the family. Her decision may break her mother's heart, but it is so that the family can continue to move forward and her sisters can have a better future.
Conclusion: The echo of the times, the change of the family
The story of Zhao Di's family is the epitome of thousands of ordinary families struggling to survive in the torrent of the times. It tells us that no matter how difficult life is, as long as there is love, understanding, and support among family members, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. In this era of relaxation of the three-child policy, we should perhaps think more: what is the meaning of childbirth? Is it to inherit the bloodline, or to give children a happy and healthy growth environment? The experience of Zhao Dijia undoubtedly provides us with a profound enlightenment.
